CHOOSES BETWEEN '
MONEY AND WIFE
$50,"000 and a Gal. Ranch Look- I
ed Good and Pa. Man
Took It
By DOROTHY DIX
A poor young man In Pennsylvania
lias recently had to make a choice be
tween money nnd matrimony. A wo
man-hating relative died and left him
a comfortable littlo fortune on the con
dition that he would never wed. The
youth was engaged to a girl, but he
promptly discarded her and qualified
as a perpetual celibate under the will,
saying in efTect: "I love my sweet
heart, but, oh, you, plunks!"
The young man's decision was a
sordid but perhaps natural one. Fifty
thousand dollars and a California
ranch the amount of the legacy
would look might good to most im
pecunious youths. Besides which, a
man might well argue that a wife Is an
expensive luxury unyhow, so In accept
ing the conditions of the bequest he
would save money both ways—coming
and going.
Of course, on the other hand, it may
be said that (lfty thousand dollars and
a ranch are a pretty poor price for
which to sell out the love of a wife,
and the happiness of home, and of hav
ing little children about one's knees.
Wkat Monc.v lloexn't Muy
Never to have any love 'out the
mercenary love of mercenary women!
Never to have any home but the barren
shelter of bachelor quarters! Never to
I feel the cuddling of a downy head
against your breast! What -lands or
money can pay a man for missing ]
these? .
Why, the chief good that a man gets
out of money Is the pleasure of spend- '
ing it on those he loves, and if you
take away those from him his gold Is
counterfeit coin. It Is not legal tender 1
at the Mart of Happiness.
Why does a man want to buy jewels,
and soft silks, and filmy laces? To i
deck out the woman he loves. Why ,
does he want to build beautiful and
luxurious houses? To make a fitting
shrine for the woman he worships. 1
What robs his toil of weariness, and '
makes his sacrifices sweet? Tire knowl- ]
edge that he is keeping wife and chil- 1
dren soft and warm and safe in .the (
home nest.
The fun that a man gets out of his
labor, the precious reward that makes 1
it worth while, is paid over the counter 1
of hlme In his wife's smiles, In the I
love-look in her eyes, in the faces of 1
little children watching for his return ]
of an evening, and the rapturous cry of
"Daddy," with which they run to meet
him.
What Money Burn
Eliminate these and what does a
man's money buy him? The indulgence 1
of vices that sear the soul and kill the •
body. A few suits of clothes, each j
exactly like the other. The indifferent
comforts of hotel or club, and the so- J
ciety of fat and tedious old rounders. 1
telling endless stories about them- 1
selves. When he Is sick the minis
trations of a hired nurse. When he 1
grows old, the paralyzing conscious- j
ness settling about his heart that he .
has lived unloved, and will die un- .
wept.
It Is not a gay life, that of the old t
bachelor, and the foolish youth who I
has traded off his sweetheart and his I
rlgh<Ho marry for a few thousand dol- I
lars has sold his birthright for a mass ! I
of pottage that will set heavily on his "
stomach many a time in the long, lone
ly years of the future.
For the trut his that we can buy
fleeting pleasure with money, but we
cannot purchase abiding happiness with
it. That must come from the lest and
the peace of the soul, from the satis
fled heart, and these have no price tag
on them.

"WAGGIE" GOES
HIGH UP LADDER
Newsboy at Third and Walnut
Streets Now Proprietor of Big
Book and Stationery Store
jfUEraijf'
WAGNER HOFFMAN
From newsboy to proprietor of a
large book and stationery establish
ment is a big jump; but not so big
when you consider that the fellow who
made the jump has been in training
for several years.
Wagner Hoffman, who has been sell
ing newsaper at the corner of Third
and Walnut streets for fourteen years,
quits to-morrow and on Monday opens
up the book and stationery store at
438 Market street as owner—sole pro
prietor. "Wag" was able to make
the jump because he kept himself in
training during those fourteen years.
With him the business of selling news
papers was evidently as worthy of
applying sound principles as one
Schwab considers them in the steel
business, for he did just that, and as a
result has joined the ranks of suc
cessful businessmen.
Hoffman purchased the store to-day
from his brother, J. B. Hoffman.
In the fourteen years "Wag" has
been on the corner he has sold thou
sands and thousands of copies of the
Harrlsburg Telegraph. He has a wide
acquaintance among Uie politicians of
the State and has regularly supplied
four Governors with his wares. "Gov
ernor Tener was my best friend,"
"Wag" said this morning. Meyer
Swimmer will succeed him on the
"corner"'

size. This has been done by Sen
ator in order to win support for it
among legislators who would not sup
port the statewide bill because they
did not,want to disturb the collectors
in their own counties.
"The bill is in the interest of good
government. It will save the people
of Dauphin county manyp thousands
of dollars a year," said Senator Bei
dleman to-day, commenting upon it.
"The system no win use here is ob
solete and costly. The receivership
plan would work no hardship to any
body bijt would prevent thousands of
dollars of county taxes being fritter
ed away each year in collectors' com
missions. I have every reason to be
lieve it will pass. Certainly I shall use
my best endeavors to have it go
through."
Provisions of Hill
The bill provides that uppjt its pas
sage th ecounty commissioners shall
appoint a receiver of taxes to hold
office until January 1, 1918, or until
his successor is elected or has quali
fied. The bill prlvides that at the
municipal elections next November a
receiver shall be elected to serve four
years, and every four years thereafter.

$3,600 a year, and he may appoint
two deputies at $1,500 each and not
exceeding two clerks at $1,200 each,
and tho deputies are to have all the
powers of tax collection conferred
upon the receiver.
The receiver Is to have an office in
the courthouse which is to be open
daily for the receipt, o flaxes. It
is to be the duty of the receiver to
mail a notice of the amount of taxes
due tho county within thirty days
after lie has received the tax dupli
cate from the county commissioners,
the notice to give full information as
to when the same is due, rebates al
lowed, penalties to be imposed, etc.
To Sit In Kn< li District '
The reclver or one of his deputies
will be required to sit at least two
days In each city,'borough, town and
township for the purposo of receiv
ing taxes, one day during the period
on which the rebate is allowed and

thus giving all persons In the dis
trict ample opportunity to pay their

county taxes within ninety days from
the date of notification would receive
